Five Simple Exercises To Get Rid Of Back Pain And Have Better Posture

Every time I see my mom, she pokes me in the back and nags me about "sitting up straight." Even though I inherited my awful posture from her, and she from her mom, I guess it's sweet that she wants better for me. It wasn't as big an issue when I was younger, but now that I'm an adult I can really feel the soreness in my shoulders and spine getting worse.

Working at a desk all day and sleeping in all sorts of crazy positions at night certainly haven't done much to help mend my bendy back. I know I need to make more of an effort to fix this now before I start to shrink, but the idea of an uncomfortable back-brace situation is not ideal. So I looked into some exercise options that can get the job done instead. It turns out, they aren't even that hard to do!

This video shows five totally simple ways to straighten out a stiff back without even needing to drive all the way out to the gym. It's perfect for anyone who resolved to spend 2016 getting themselves into better shape. Getting rid of your muffin top won't do much good for your appearance if your back is still shaped like an "S" all the time. Luckily, these methods are so easy that I can even do some of these while I binge watch my newest Netflix addiction!

Check out the video and add these simple steps to your work out routine ASAP. You don't want to wait until it's too late.
